FOOTPRINTS ...

ON THE SANDS OF TIME,

MHS students strived to leave their impression.

Though only a minute segment of

the world, the Governors related to life

through school happenings. They

walked in football stadiums, cafeterias,

auditoriums, dance floors and

classrooms. On each, student footprints were

left. As the sands of time

slipped by, new footprints appeared but few

ever faded. Accomplishments

and failures were recorded as each school

event passed. Yes, Governors

walked on the sands of time, yesterday,

today and tomorrow.

ON THE SANDS OF YESTERDAY.

MHS students left individual impressions.

Excelling in academics, athletics

and the arts. Governor footprints were found

everywhere. In the past, Morton

Governors achieved set goals and worked

towards future ones. Through

their accomplishments, students began to

understand each other and some

of the world's problems. The sands of

yesterday have rolled on and

the present is today. But the footprints,

engraved in the past, still remain for now

and the days to come.

Under the balcony staircase this planter of artificial flowers enhances the auditorium’s appearance.

ON THE SANDS OF TODAY,

MHS students left their impression on the

rapid changing world. Through

school happenings. Governors untangled

their inner confusions and

pursued their goals. In accordance with

new world achievements. Morton

kept up with the pace in 1971. Seeking

individualism and their own

identity, students took part in their

world at MHS. They decorated

floats, researched for term papers and ran

for touchdowns to "get it all

together." Such events etched footprints

in the students' world of today.

ON THE SANDS OF TOMORROW

lie uncertainties, but the footprints of 1971

and earlier years will be future

students' blueprints. Since the world is

considered by many to be a "ball

of confusion" who knows which way the earth

is headed for tomorrow? This is a

problem which will face future students of

Morton Senior High School. MHS

events of yesterday, today and tomorrow will

be, if not already, frozen

permanently on the sands of time as . . .

LAST YEAR’S QUEEN, Marsha Hunt, and Mr. Joseph Gartner
prepare for the parade and evening festivities.

Homecoming festivities began this year with a pep
assembly held in the football stadium October 2.
Students cheered for a victory over Tech.

Leading the annual parade was the 1971 court and
last year’s queen, Marsha Hunt. Following the court
were decorated floats, cars and trucks. The senior
float portrayed a huge gorilla with the theme “Gov’s
Don’t Monkey Around”. The junior float consisted
of a stork carrying a football and used the theme
“We’re Expecting A Victory”. Homerooms and clubs
displayed school spirit by participating in the
parade with their entries.

During halftime ceremonies Vicki Vela was
crowned queen by Marsha Hunt on the black Top
Hat platform. She received a dozen roses and a kiss
from Student Association President, David Boldt. He
was dressed in the traditional top hat and tails. Vicki
Vela, seated on her throne, received congratulations
from fellow students as she reigned over the annual
homecoming dance held in her honor.

Theatrical productions entertain, supply

Much hard work and preparation went into Mor¬
ton’s theater productions. Students learned stage
techniques and gained experience while providing
entertainment through plays for their audiences.

THE IMAGINARY INVALID, a comedy, told the
story of a man with an array of feigned illnesses.
The play amused while relating the effects of this
man’s ailments upon his close associates.

Morton also presented a children’s play, THE
EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES. This play concerned a
king who loved magnificent clothes and suffered
because of his want for regal garments.

THE GLASS MENAGERIE unfolded the story of a
mother, her son and daughter, as remembered by her
son. This was the last play of the school year pro¬
duced by Morton’s Top Hat Theatre.

Sets for LION IN WINTER and ANDROCLES AND
THE LION were also designed by the theater de¬
partment. Morton’s auditorium housed these plays
presented by outside organizations.

Due to lack of sufficient time and interest the
Top Hat Theatre cancelled their annual spring mu¬
sical. This play would have been OLIVER.

CONTEMPLATING HIS ILLNESSES, Monsieur Argan (Chuck
Spornick), a hypochondriac, is the imaginary invalid.

PLEASED WITH HERSELF, Toninette (Lynn Fleischer) introduces Angelica (Stacy Lovin) and Cleante

PUZZLED AND BEWILDERED, freshmen Benjy Powers and Sue Keithley search for the room
number that coincides with their schedules. This scene was typical of most freshmen.

Orientation promotes interest in clubs

Sponsored by the Student Association, this year’s
orientation day was quite different in format com¬
pared to orientation of- previous years.

Upon entering the auditorium the freshmen were
seated alphabetically in their homeroom groups.
Association representatives presented the students
with the school song and constitution.

Principal W. W. Becker welcomed the pupils and
gave a short speech about school policies. Mr. Ruff
informed the students on disciplinary actions. Dave
Boldt, Student Association President, gave a speech
centered mainly on Morton’s student government and
the problems that this group can solve. He urged
the freshmen to not only join clubs but to be active
participants in school activities.

Mr. Chidester, Guidance Department Chairman,
explained scheduling procedures and program
changes. The cheerleaders acquainted the frosh with
governor spirit by performing three cheers including
the school song and “Hey Gang.” To close the pro¬
gram the frosh received a tour of the school to en¬
able them to locate their homerooms.

TAKING A BREAK from his studies, frosh Andy Coulter per¬
forms his dtuies as hall monitor in his first year.

MHS students adopt new dress guide

At the students’ request, a committee of selected
parents, students and faculty members assembled
during the summer to revise the dress code.

Abolishment of a formal dress code was the out¬
come of the session. The decision of the committee
was to set up a dress guide with few restrictions.
This enabled students to wear the current fashions
and styles. However, cleanliness and neatness were
still advised in the students' dress.

According to the guide, footwear has to be worn
for health purposes. Shirt tails are to be tucked in
and pants with rivets are not allowed.

Girl’s appeared in pant suits, shorts and bell bot¬
tomed jeans. Dresses and skirts were of varying
lengths. These included the mini, maxi and the midi.
Gauchos, worn with boots, and knickers played an
added role in the girl’s apparel.

Some of the popular fads this year included suede
coats and vests with fringe, Charlie Brown shoes,
hot pants and embroidered patches on jeans.

GAUCHOS AND KNICKERS, a favorite attire throughout Morton,
are modeled by Monica Gasper and Cyndee Rathbun.

JEANS, MAXIS, AND MIDIS are a sample of girls' school ap¬
parel since the adoption of the new dress guide. Comparing
outfits are D. Williams, P. Silaghi and W. Fletcher.

atmosphere amid 'Lollipops and Roses'

Returning to a previous tradition the 1971 Junior-
Senior Prom was held in the school cafeteria and
commons. Months of planning and hard work by
juniors, parents and class sponsors made the night
of May 29 one to be long remembered.

Couples, dressed in tuxedoes and formal attire,
crossed over a bridge decorated with flowers to en¬
ter a fantasy land of “Lollipops and Roses.” An out¬
door garden setting and a life-size tree garnished
with colorful lollipops and roses illustrated the se¬
lected theme. Bob Wilson and his orchestra pro¬
vided the music from 8 to 12 midnight.

Following the prom, couples attended the after¬
prom party at San Remo's Restaurant in Griffith.
This portion of the prom festivities was sponsored
by junior class parents. Couples “broke loose” and
danced to the music of Ask Rufus, a soul-rock group
until 4 a. m. All prom-goers received tokens of
remembrance of the evening.

To conclude their prom weekend, couples headed
for beaches, zoos, museums and amusement parks
on the following Sunday morning.

Patriotism sets pace for Inaugural Ball

“Hope—Present and Future” was the theme of
this year’s Inaugural Ball held on November 21. Inno¬
vations were made to create a livelier atmosphere in
the school cafeteria. Red, white, and blue streamers
and flags decorated the walls along with murals and
posters. An 11 foot papier mache Statue of Liberty,
designed by Morton graduate Jacob Roquet, was the
center of attraction on the dance floor. American
shields and marshmallows with miniature flags in
them decorated the tables. For refreshments a va¬
riety of hor d’oeurves were served instead of the
routine cookies and punch.

Breaking away from ball-room music, the Dontays,
a modern rock group, played “now” songs. During
one of the band’s breaks a candlelight ceremony,
lead by the association president and conducted with
help from the cabinet and class officers, took place
to symbolize faith and hope in America.

This year the Student Association proposed that
all types of evening wear would be acceptable at
the Ball. The boys wore suits while the girls had
their choice of either minis, midis or maxis.

SPECIALLY DESIGNED Statue of Liberty, constructed by a
Morton graduate, serves as the center of attraction at the 1970

Following the completion of Hammond Sectional
activity for 1971, Morton acquired the Sportsmanship
Trophy. The Governors competed with Clark, Gavit,
Hammond High, Highland, Munster, Tech, and Whit¬
ing for the coveted spirit award.

Midwest Industries annually awards the trophy
to the school that generates the best overall spirit
during sectionals. A scholarship was also given to
a deserving student who actively participated in
sports activities. Morton previously received the
honor of winning the trophy in 1962.

Students displayed their individual spirit in var¬
ious ways. Posters depicting support of the team
could be seen throughout the school. Loyal Gover¬
nors purchased beanies and class buttons and also
wore school and class colors on specified days.

Classes were judged according to the amount of
spirit shown at pep rallies, games, and other ac¬
tivities related to sectionals. The juniors were cho¬
sen as the most spirited class. They were justly
rewarded by having their “head” placed on the top
of the totem pole. The juniors were followed by the
freshmen, sophomores, and seniors.

Trudging through the Indiana State Dunes Park,
biology students gathered samples of dirt and sand
and different types of insects. After returning to
school the students correlated classroom and lab
sessions with the field trip.

Biology students concerned themselves with the
characteristics, organization, and the functions of
life. During experiments students had the oppor¬
tunity to use such equipment as microscopes, Bun¬
sen burners, test tubes, and dissecting tools.

Chemistry and physics classes advanced to a
more specialized instruction. Dealing with such
forces as pressure, friction, and gravity, physics stu¬
dents solved problem situations occurring in their
environment. Through experimentation chemistry
students examined the structure of substances,
chemical reactions and equations.

Gerbils were substituted for people in a classi¬
cal conditioning experiment in psychology classes.
Classroom knowledge was frequently related to
everyday happenings in student life.

tions given by Morton English students. Skits were
representative of original ideas while students
expressed personal views through the compo¬
sition of themes and speeches.

During the first two years underclassmen became
acquainted with the close relationship between the
written word and the spoken idea. Freshmen famil¬
iarized themselves with Shakespeare’s poetry as
they memorized lines from “Romeo and Juliet.”

Sophomores learned the fundamentals of good
oral presentations. Students practiced public speak¬
ing as they entertained their classmates with persua¬
sive, humorous, or demonstrative speeches.

to improve their pronunciation. Seated in individ¬
ual cubicles, each student was equipped with tapes
and their own set of earphones.

Proper techniques must be acquired before being
able to speak any language. During their first year
of study, all foreign language students became ac¬
quainted with basic fundamentals of their language.
Puppet shows performed by French I students aided
them in their pronunciation and grammar.

Advanced language students studied the literature
and the geographical features of their particular
foreign country. Spanish students utilized the maga¬
zine HOY DIA to supplement their daily reading.
French students acted out the fables of La Fon¬
taine, the seventeenth century storyteller, while
gaining knowledge of French literature.

Crossword puzzles and German bingo gave ad¬
vanced German students the opportunity to further
their use of words. Analyzing ancient Greek and
Roman architecture occupied the time of Latin stu¬
dents. Along with reading novels, Latin pupils
learned the derivatives of medical terms and other
words pertaining to our own English language.

introduced a new approach to “modern math” to
students and teachers. Pupils orientated towards the
secretarial field acquired experience in applicable
business courses offered at Morton.

General math, a two year course, provided an in¬
troduction to a basic knowledge of numbers. Algebra
students became acquainted with simple number
properties as they learned to solve equations and
graph them on the Cartesian coordinate plane. Ge¬
ometry students utilized theorems, postulates, and
axioms in writing proofs of various problems.

Advanced algebra and analysis classes delved into
specialized areas. Algebra pupils studied graph
functions, quadratic equations, and trigonometric
principles. Analysis focused on the use of logic and
also prepared students for college courses.

Students developed typing skills through timed
writings, exercises, and drills. Pupils studying short¬
hand steadily increased their accuracy and speed
in taking dictation. Bookkeeping dealt with the
economic aspects of business, while Business
Law analyzed the legal procedures used. Students

Girls’ and Boys’ Foods were just two of the elec¬
tives offered. Other classes, such as Family Living
and clothing, taught students useful skills that
could be applied now or in future years.

Clothing students learned the basic techniques of
sewing including pattern placement, using the right
texture of material, and types of hand stitchings.

Shop courses stress safety procedures

Reading assignments during industrial art classes
stressed safety rules as important factors. Students
were required to take both a written test and a ma¬
chine operating exam. Those who passed these
tests were then given the privilege of operating jig
saws, lathes, and other shop machines.

Scale drawings of machines and constructions of
exact measurements typified a few skills obtained
by mechanical drawing students. To draw precise
blueprints pupils relied on special tools.

Computers, electronic waves and lazer beams
became topics of discussion during electronics
classes. Students worked on different projects in the
course of a semester. Automobiles, machine engines,
and electronic energy were some areas interesting
to students in power mechanics classes.

Instructors in metal class taught students skills
which they might use in consumer knowledge or
apply during leisure time activities. Materials used
in metal working jobs were described and discussed.
Students participating in this class created projects
which they selected themselves.

Students in woodshoo classes expressed freedom
of design by constructing shelves, bookcases, pen
and pencil holders, and small foot-rests.

display best works

Displaying talent and hard work, students who
participated in art classes exhibited their finished
products in the window of the art room.

Students studying art were first introduced to
the basic fundamentals. Lines, shapes, value, col¬
or, texture, and space comprise the elements of art
that were used in any kind of creation. The history
of art proved to be equally important. Pupils dis¬
covered that works of art contain more than is seen
with the eyes at first glance.

After they learned the essentials some students
continued in art classes. During these courses pu¬
pils were given in-depth exposure and experience
in relation to various types of art.

Sculpturing, painting, sketching, tie-dyeing, ce¬
ramics, and letter designing were projects during
the course. As students progressed, they began to
specialize in one or two definite areas.

Students who furthered their specific talents in
art through all four years of high school acquired
an extensive background in this field.

All art students practiced self-expression. Al¬
though much freedom was exercised they still
followed certain basic guide lines.

EXPERIMENTING WITH TIE-DYEING, senior Tom Rowley looks
over his newly finished project. Art classes worked with dif¬
ferent projects, tie-dyeing being one of the newest.

in various phases of physical education

UP FOR A REBOUND, freshmen boys develop and improve
their individual skills through a basketball game.

Physical education classes presented pupils with
the opportunity to develop proficient skills in var¬
ious sports and games. Several activities such as
gymnastics, swimming, basketball and volleyball
provided a challenge for students.

While classes were primarily made up of fresh¬
men, two previous physical education students
served as assistants to each class instead of re¬
porting to a study hall or an elective course.

Folk dancing gave the girls a chance to build
coordination and a sense of rhythm as well as
learn origins of certain dances.

During the six week course of swimming boys
and girls learned different strokes and dives along
with basic life-saving techniques.

Basketball gave all the pupils a chance to gain
knowledge about dribbling, shooting and passing
the ball, while the game of volleyball stressed
teamwork and good sportsmanship.

Quick maneuvering on the trampoline and on the
parallel bars, combined with the instructor’s aid,
helped the students learn various stunts.

Highlighting the year for the physical education
department was the change of girls’ gym uniforms
to a light blue, short jumpsuit.

School activities calendar informs MHS students of upcoming projects.

Displaying the results of class competition is the MHS totem pole.

Throughout the year Morton students

participated in extracurricular

activities and left their footprints in all

fields of interest. To meet the

demands of the community, new service clubs

were formed and put in

operation. Although clubs were initiated to

serve the community and

school, they also benefited the members

themselves in forms of enjoyment

and self-gratification. Students

broadened their knowledge of

potential careers and hobbies. Active

members organized cheer blocks,

dances and ecology projects and stamped

their footprints in all Morton . . .

spirit, school pride by using totem pole

In order to promote Governor spirit the Student
Association created a totem pole to replace last
year’s spirit rock. The pole consisted of five papier-
mache heads, one for each class and one repre¬
senting the school. The class with the most spirit
received the privilege of having their symbolic
head on top of the totem pole.

Breaking away from the tradition of an all senior
cabinet, Student Association President David Boldt
chose members from all classes. New cabinet
posts of “class spirit” were formed.

Composed of both senators and representatives,
the Congress voted on all issues brought before
the Student Association. The representatives’ duties
consisted of attending all meetings and explain¬
ing the issues discussed to their homerooms. Sen¬
ators approved all cabinet appointments.

Court enabled students to appeal their case when
they felt they had received an unfair trial.

Editors set deadlines for section work

PAGE EDITORS AND AD MANAGERS— FRONT ROW: C. Mil¬
ler, D. Neely. BACK ROW: C. Budkis, L. Spencer. Organizing
pages and selling ads were the jobs of these staffers.

TOP HAT co-editors attended a journalism work¬
shop at Indiana University for a two week session
during the summer. They studied yearbook organi¬
zation and make-up. This helped them plan the divi¬
sion pages and decide the yearbook style. Deadlines
for each section were set by the editors.

Students who had been on the staff for a year and
wanted to remain on TOP HAT applied for positions
as section editors at the end of the year. Each sec¬
tion editor was in charge of a different portion of
the yearbook. Edge editors wrote copy, captions,
and headlines to gain experience and to help
section editors meet deadlines. An additional
twelve pages were added to the yearbook to provide
more complete coverage of the year.

Sponsoring a magazine sale, the Mortonite Staff
raised sufficient fun'ds for future publications of
the paper. The Mortonite editor and assistant editors
met bi-weekly deadlines by proofing gallies and
checking captions and headlines.

Arranging headlines, copy, and captions in an
attractive lay-out, Mortonite page editors worked
on their individual pages of the paper. They were
required to paste them up and meet the deadlines

Rating high honors, Morton’s TOP HAT and MOR-
TONITE both received the All-American Award. Given
by the National Scholastic Press Association, this
award commends the design and planning of both
publications. A determined staff effort and coopera¬
tion produced an honored yearbook and newspaper.

Quill and Scroll is a journalistic organization of
high school students throughout the country. Mem¬
bership is limited to juniors and seniors who are in
the top one-third of their class and have worked on
a staff for one year. Members sold class pins to pay
staff expenses and to provide funds for the annual
Quill and Scroll banquet. The dinner program in¬
cluded the initiation of new members and the an¬
nouncement of newly acquired staff positions.

Helping section editors meet deadlines by writing
headlines, captions, and copy was the job of TOP
HAT edge editors. It was required that they keep
a stringer of all errands and completed work which
helped to determine individual grades.

MORTONITE reporters covered “beats” for school
news to help keep students informed of activities
and events. Beats were assigned for every depart¬
ment and school section. This allowed current and
informative stories to appear in the MORTONITE.

Drama groups work to produce plays

Morton’s Drama Department was responsible for
the production of all stage plays given by the stu¬
dents. To start the year off a number of presentations,
including two comedies, THE IMAGINARY INVALID
and THE EMPERORS NEW CLOTHES, were cast.
Later, in an assembly, THE BALD SOPRANO was
acted out for the students and faculty.

Because of production difficulties the spring mu¬
sical, OLIVER, had to be canceled. THE GLASS
MENAGERIE, a short play, was presented.

Students who volunteered to help with the props,
lighting and make-up for each of the performances
formed the stage crew. In addition they worked to¬
gether in making costumes for the cast.

By sponsoring a candy sale and a fruit cake sale,
Theater Guild helped to raise funds for the dramatic
organization. This money was also used to cover the
expense of trips taken by the guild.

Thespians, another branch of the Drama Depart¬
ment, is an honorary organization. To be initiated a
cast member must earn a minimum of ten points.
These points are earned through participation in the
various stage productions. Thespians sponsored a
few trips throughout the year to view stage plays
given in Chicago or at local colleges.

Performing in school assemblies and vocal events
throughout the Calumet Region were some of the
major functions Morton High’s choral groups par¬
ticipated in. All choirs, ensembles, and choruses
competed in local and state vocal contests.

Auditions for Concert Choir were held each se¬
mester to select new members. Students were judged
on sight reading abilities and general music knowl¬
edge. Concert Choir sang at many civic and religious
events, and this year they were featured at several
Morton Middle School assemblies.

Folk songs remained the Wayfarers’ specialty.
This year they presented a program at K-Mart’s
Christmas party. Most members were chosen from
selected students in Concert Choir. Two guitars
served as their accompaniment for all appearances.

Carillons, an all girl ensemble, sang at Mr. Smor¬
gasbord and various other restaurants. They also
received a first place honor in the state vocal con¬
test at Butler University. Governaires, consisting of
both male and female vocalists, gave shows at var¬
ious church functions in the area.

In order to be selected for a higher choir, students
had to have been in Girls or Boys Chorus. After
participating in basic classes, members auditioned
for a position in one of the four choirs.

by participation in contests, assemblies

Concert Band entertained during football season
by performing original formations in the half-time
activities. Participating in the State Band Contest,
April 24, in Fort Wayne and in various assemblies
throughout the school year were some of the bands’
activities. They were also featured in the annual
Christmas parade in Hessville.

Stage band differed from concert band because
of the music they played. While the concert band
concentrated on classical music the stage band
played jazz compositions and popular tunes.

Starting an orchestra program again this year
provided a fine outlet for those students interested
in studying a string instrument.

Providing background for the cheers, the pep
band performed at most basketball games. Pep
band consisted of volunteer members.

Selling candy enlarged the instrumental depart¬
ments’ funds. With the money raised they were able
to purchase new music and plan for new uniforms.
All groups were directed by Miss Benjamin.

Throughout the year students, with assistance
from booster clubs, illustrated school spirit by sign
painting and school support projects.

Late last year M-Club officers sponsored the
Robert Moore Fund Drive. The lettermen collected
$1,000 for this East Chicago athlete. They were also
in charge of ticket sales at the annual M.A.A.A. Ham
Benefit. Assigned lettermen were in charge of
sweeping the basketball court at half-time.

Booster Club publicity chairmen organized all
sign-painting meetings. It was their responsibility to
provide supplies and supervise behavior. Booster
Club provided buses for almost all basketball and
football away games. Members sold red and white
beanies and pep pins during student lunch hours.
Trophies bought by the Booster Club were presented
to two senior boys who were named Mr. Basketball
and Mr. Football at the annual dances.

Girls Athletic Association sponsored two sales this
year. Night shirts and Morton jerseys were sold
in order to increase club funds.

In their second year of inter-scholastic compe¬
tition the GAA varsity basketball team compiled
a 2-6 record. They played four home games and
each player received a new basketball jersey.

The girls received a second place award for their
marching performance in the Park Forest Christmas
parade.

As a selected group of 25 girls, the Pom Pon Corps
performed in school pep rallies and at designated
ball games. Members sponsored a dance and candy
sale to raise money to purchase new uniforms.

Varsity Twirlers exhibited their twirling ability on
the football field, in the gym, and in state compe¬
tition. By daily practice they were able to improve
and create new routines for students to enjoy. Plac¬
ing second in state competition, the girls won
one duet and three solo awards.

Cheerleaders sponsor pep assemblies

By attending cheerleading camp at Vincennes Uni¬
versity during the summer, the varsity cheerleaders
prepared for the 1970-1971 season. At camp the
girls were involved with cheerleaders from several
states. Daily competition was held; the Governor
squad captured one second and three third place
ribbons. New cheers were used at games and var¬
ious pep sessions sponsored by the girls.

Sale of ‘Gov’ pins and profits from their dance
allowed the varsity squad to purchase new uniforms.
Culottes and vests, saddle shoes, and short-sleeve
sweaters were the new additions. Uniforms were
worn every Friday to promote wearing of school col¬
ors and on days of games to encourage spirit.

Summer practice sessions enabled the B-team
squad to organize cheers for the oncoming year.
Sponsoring a bake sale along with a share of profits
from the dance provided these cheerleaders with
the needed funds to purchase new skirts and vests.
The Junior Varsity cheered at all B-team games and
during half time at varsity home games.

Due to tryouts being held late in the fall, fresh¬
man cheerleaders were able to cheer for only one
football game but cheered the entire basketball
season. Practices were held after school until
second semester when all obtained seventh hour
cheerleading. The freshman squad worked to pro¬
mote spirit among Morton’s newest class.

displays 3-1 record

This year’s varsity football squad recorded a final
slate of 6-3-1. Holding three teams scoreless was
one of the accomplishments of the team. Additional
achievements were winning the Lake Shore Con¬
ference title and playing first ranked Elkhart.

Morton started with a 7-0 loss to Gary Andrean,
and a 1-0 forfeit by Clark. A contest with E.C. Wash¬
ington accounted for the Governors’ first actual
win of the season, the score being 28-0. Home¬
coming 1970 was played against Hammond Tech.
The outcome was in favor of the Govs 20-0.

Although Morton was unable to score against
Bishop Noll, they in turn made it impossible for the
Warriors to score. In the next game, when the Govs
met E.C. Roosevelt, Morton was defeated 14-13.

Games with Gavit and Whiting proved to be victor¬
ious for the Governors. The scores of these two
games were 32-13 and 54-0 respectively. The last
originally scheduled game of the season was played
against Hammond High, Morton losing 14-7.

As a result of winning the Conference Champion¬
ship Morton received the chance to play the Elkhart
Blue Blazers, who were ranked first in Indiana. Elk¬
hart came out of the game victorious, 27-0.

against Hammond High at the Civic Center.

Starting off the season with three straight losses
to Highland, Lake Central, and Griffith the varsity
roundballers picked up their first victories against
Bishop Noll and Calumet as they led their oppo¬
nents through a major part of the game.

After losing to E. C. Washington the cagers once
again got back in the track as they defeated Lew
Wallace in a close game that ended up with the
Govs on top by three. In their next game the Govs
obtained an easy victory over Gary Wirt.

ney the roundballers defeated Merrillville, their first
opponent. Calumet proved to be more than the
Govs could handle as they fought their way to a
52-50 victory and the championship trophy.

After winning their next two games against Ho¬
bart and Whiting, the roundballers again tasted de¬
feat as they fell to Gavit and Andrean. Thwarted by
defending state champ E. C. Roosevelt the Gov
cagers lost by 65-44.'Following this Hammond High
and Clark handed them their fifth and sixth con¬
secutive losses in eight outings.

way to final game

With a regular season win over Tech the Govs
looked hopefully to sectional play. However, in the
opening minutes of the game it seemed as if there
would be a repeat of last year’s defeat.

Trailing by 12 at the end of the first quarter,
the Govs picked up steam as they led by one at
the end of the second period.

Dominant throughout the second half, Tech looked
as though its team might win, but the Govs repeat¬
edly tied the Tigers in the final minutes.

Tech, in possession of the ball, with 30 seconds
remaining in the game, decided to wait until the
final seconds before attempting to score. With ten
seconds left to go the Tigers shot. The ball was
rebounded and shot by Tech, but it failed to go into
the rim as the final buzzer sounded. In overtime the
Govs scored six while holding Tech to one field
goal. The final score was Morton 64, Tech 60.

Facing Highland in their next game of sectional
play, the cagers led their opponent by one at the
end of the first period. They retained the lead, ahead
by one at the close of the first half.

Down by three, going into the last period, the
Govs fell apart as Highland out scored them 24-13.
The game ended with Highland on top, 70-56.

GOVERNOR MATMAN, Arnold Lord, tries to reverse his Whit¬
ing rival’s position in hopes for a pin.

Individual honors as well as team honors were
earned by this year’s varsity wrestling team. Besides
chalking up a 6-3 record, the team finished third in
the conference. The team had three conference
champions and one sectional champ.

Falling to Hammond High and Bishop Noll at the
beginning of the season did not dampen the team
spirit. With a combined team effort the next five
meets were MHS victories. Morton defeated Ham¬
mond Tech and followed this win with another by
beating E.C. Washington. In the next three meets the
Governors showed their winning ability by defeating
E.C. Roosevelt, Clark, and Whiting. The grappler’s
third and final loss of the season took place as Por¬
tage overcame the Govs by only one point, 22-21.
Morton concluded their wrestling season exhibiting a
victory over Gary Andrean, 28-18.

Lake Shore Conference Champions were deter¬
mined at the Conference Tournament which was held
in the Morton gym on January 23. The Governor squad
produced three champs. Seniors Arnold Lord and
Dave DePew and junior Dave Smoot all captured first
place honors in their individual weight classes.

Dave DePew represented Morton High School in
the 1970-71 Sectional finals. He defeated his oppo¬
nent from Calumet, 5-1. Following the last meet the
team selected the most valuable wrestler and team

Tankmen develop

Team effort and experience helped to lead the
Governor tankmen to a winning season. They fin¬
ished the season with a record of 9 wins and 3 losses.

Starting the season, the Governors defeated cross¬
town rivals Tech, 51-44, and Hammond High, 64-31.
They won two more meets against Portage and Valpo-
raiso with a close score of 49-46. The team then
went on to win five meets in a row. Bishop Noll,
Lowell, Valparaiso, Highland, and Gary Roosevelt
all fell to the Govs. They then lost their last two
meets of the year to Griffith and Bishop Noll
with scores of 57-38 and 49-46 respectively.

Named as Griffith Invitational winners for the
second consecutive year, Morton earned 81 Vi points
in the meet. Griffith finished with 79, Portage with
49V2, Tech with 44, and Chesterton with 27.

For the first time since Morton has had a swim¬
ming team one of the members qualified for the
state finals. Greg Clarke represented Morton in the
400-yard freestyle. Receiving both most valuable
and co-captain was junior Greg Clarke. Dave Misa-
nik was elected as the other co-captain.

Suffering from the loss of many first string gradu¬
ating seniors, the Morton soccer squad compiled a
seasonal record of two wins and six losses. The Govs
were held scoreless in their first four matches as
their opponents scored ten goals.

After bouncing back and winning their first game
of the season against Clark by one goal, the soccer
team again tasted defeat as Hammond Tech emerged
victorious by the score of 3-0.

Coming from behind in the final quarter, Vince
Kerr scored a very important goal which gave the
Governors their second win of the season against
Hammond High, their last opponent. The soccer
team this year, as in past years, possessed a strong
defensive team limiting their opponents to an aver¬
age of 2 goals per game. This year it was the lack
of a good scoring attack which stopped the Gover¬
nors from having another winning season.

Since many of the regulars from this season’s
squad were underclassmen, Coach Bob Gollner has
high hopes for next season. The soccer squad will be
trying to better this season’s record.

“Due to a lack of experienced players, our base¬
ball squad didn’t click until about mid-season when
the right players were chosen for the right posi¬
tions,” commented Head Coach Jack Georgas. Start¬
ing the season off slowly, winning only 2 of 10 games,
the Morton Governor baseball team came on strong
at mid-season and finished the year winning 7 of
8 games and placing second in the East Chicago
Sectional. In the sectional championship game at
Block Stadium the Governors lost to E. C. Washing¬
ton by a score of 3-1. The squad concluded the sea¬
son with a slate of 12-10-2.

Under the instructions of Head Coach Jack Geor¬
gas and assistant Greg Jancich, the Governors made
a dramatic comeback with a seven game winning
streak. This streak began when the Governors beat
Hammond Tech, 7-1, and ended by beating Highland,
1-0, in the East Chicago Sectional semi-finals. The
Gov rally at mid-season was attributed to strong hit¬
ting and fielding. This revival brought the Govs over
the 500 mark for the fifth straight year.

After the season ended team members selected
Bob Kuhn as most valuable player. They also chose
Randy Hlad and Frank Rakoczy as co-captains.

left footprints as they walked through the

Footprints filled classrooms, the gym and

Families and friends of seniors witness the graduation of the Class of ’71 in the gym.

Class officers choose senior graduation

PREPARED FOR THE WEATHER, senior Class President Tom
Kolwicz helps clear the heavily snowed-in parking lot.

Style of graduation announcements for 1971 was
selected by class officers and a committee of five
seniors. With less than a month left to construct the
homecoming float, seniors pulled through with the
theme “Govs Don’t Monkey Around.”

To create an atmosphere of unity, seniors met in
the auditorium on Tuesdays for announcements con¬
cerning college, activities, and graduation.

Powder blue and navy were class colors chosen
by seniors for traditional cords to be worn on Tues¬
days. Cords ordered for the boys in November did
not arrive on time which caused a great deal of
confusion for all students involved.

Due to overcrowded conditions in the cafeteria,
the administration introduced the long awaited open
campus program. Senior class members received
this privilege on a tentative basis.

This year students and parents voted on purchas¬
ing new synthetic caps and gowns instead of renting
them. This enabled the students to have their gowns
available for pictures and church ceremonies. Pur¬
chased gowns prevented the confusion of returning
the gowns immediately after graduation.

A meeting of senior class members ended with the
formation of an activity committee. This committee
planned a skating party for seniors to provide bet¬
ter spirit and unity among all class members.

Graduates of ’71 were the first students to com¬
plete all four years in Morton’s new building.

SENIOR CLASS SECRETARY Sue Hatfield takes a zip down
the hall to get in practice for the senior skating party.

TAKING THE EASY WAY DOWN, senior Vice-President Mark
Joseph relaxes between duties required in his office.

Class officers stress active involvement

Juniors began their first year as upperclassmen
with elections for homeroom representatives, execu¬
tive board members, and alternates. Class sponsor
Mrs. Gwen Mangus guided the class officers and
representatives in decision making.

Competition between classes was held during the
United Community Chest Drive. The Class of ’72
captured the top of the totem pole by contributing
the greatest amount of money.

“We’re Expecting a Victory” was chosen as the
theme of the 1970 Junior Homecoming float. The
float depicted a stork, made of tissue flowers, with
a football in a diaper hanging from its mouth.

Selecting the Junior-Senior Prom theme, “Lolli¬
pops and Roses,” and planning the affair were the
Junior Executive Board’s main responsibilities. The
prom was held in the Morton cafeteria and San
Remo’s was the site of the after-prom party.

Traditional class rings were ordered during Octo¬
ber and were received in December. Dress-up days
gave the juniors an opportunity to display their Sun¬
day finery. PSAT and SAT tests were administered
to interested, college-bound students. SAT tests were
taken on Saturday, April 17. Students received re¬
sults in approximately four weeks.

SCHOOL COURTYARD PROVIDES quiet atmosphere for Curt
Lukoshus, junior class president, as he studies for final exams.
Curt presents ideas for class activities during executive board
meetings, held whenever necessary.

TYPING THE MINUTES of the last exec board meeting is one of
132 the responsibilities of Secretary Dede O’Drobinak.

READY AND WAITING, sophomore class secretary Lois Smith
is well prepared for the oncoming attack.

SLIDING INTO THE SCHOOL grounds, via an icy ledgeway,
is sophomore Vice-President Angelo Toyias.

Officers decide class

projects, activities

Class sponsors Mr. Dennis Zelenke and Mrs.
Nancy Squibb aided the sophomore officers and
representatives in sponsoring class projects. The
officers met bi-weekly to discuss future activities.

Sportsmanship and homeroom rivalry prevailed
during the first sophomore volleyball tournament.
Competitive games were played in March.

In order to boost the Class of ’73’s treasury the
sophomores sponsored a dance on January 15, 1971.
The “Ore” provided the music for the dance after
the Morton-Gavit basketball game. A candy sale
was also held during November. The profits were
set aside for financing the Class of ’73’s prom.

During homecoming week the class united to
decorate a pick-up truck and cars for the pre-game
parade. The sophomores placed fourth in spirit
competition during homecoming festivities.

VISIONS OF FUTURE CLASS PROJECTS are contemplated
by sophomore class President Mark Ladendorf. Participation by
all students provided incentive to reach his goals.

Class of '74 begins year with elections

148

Elections for freshmen officers, senators and home¬
room representatives took place early in the first
semester. Meetings were held once a week for class
representatives at which the class president pre¬
sided. A class sponsor, Mr. G. Green, was chosen to
aid class officers. Rust was selected as the class
color and was worn to encourage unity.

Freshmen were introduced to school procedures
during an orientation program in early September.
The orientation was sponsored by the Student Asso¬
ciation which provided guides for a tour of the
school. At this time the school constitution and
class schedules were also handed out.

Representing their class, a freshmen boy and girl
presented a bouquet of roses and crown to the
1971 Homecoming queen. Frosh also decorated cars
as part of the Homecoming festivities.

During a frosh basketball game, a bake sale was
held to raise funds. Interested students and frosh
representatives also sponsored a pollution sticker
sale along with a February splash party.

Extracurricular activities provided freshmen with
an active social life. They served on various com¬
mittees and attended school sponsored dances,
plays, concerts, and athletic events.

Different varieties of air freshener were sold
door to door by freshmen during March.

HAPPENINGS OF THE DAY, along
with upcoming class events, creates
conversation for freshmen class of¬
ficers President Kevin Boldt, Vice-
President Debbie Klisurich, and
Secretary Judi Childers.

ANXIOUSLY AWAITING RESULTS of the freshmen class elec¬
tions are L. Pariso, P. Anguiano, D. Elish, T. Culp. Freshmen

Administration backs student activities

Heading the administration of Morton Senior High
School for the tenth year, Mr. W. Winston Becker
approved all student activity and enforced the Mor¬
ton Governors’ new dress guide.

Supervising pupil attendance, Mr. Walter Ruff,
Dean of Students, also checked absences, distrib¬
uted detentions, and encouraged good grooming.

Mr. Phillip Mateja, assistant principal, scheduled
the use of the building and developed a master
program schedule for all faculty.

Morton’s first program for handicapped students
was supervised by faculty members Mrs. Shirley
Rotenberg and Mrs. Ellis Diener. Morton had six
handicapped students who received their high school
education as they made use of Morton’s facilities.

Staff members acted as chaperones for club and
extra-curricular activities. They also met with par¬
ents and students to revise the Junior-Senior
Prom regulations. The administration approved the
school’s new dress guide, which went into effect
at the beginning of the school year.

Program scheduling was the main duty of Morton’s
six guidance counselors. Advisors also gave advice
on educational topics to aid students in their deci¬
sions for future schooling and career life.

USE OF THE MICROPHONE enables Mr. Mateja, Morton’s assis¬
tant principal, to deliver his "thought for the day."

IN HIS TENTH YEAR as chief administrator of Morton Senior
High School, Principal W. W. Becker regulates activities con¬
cerning the prom, dress code, and student behavior.

CHECKING OVER UNEXCUSED ABSENCE LISTS, Mr. Ruff ful¬
fills one of his duties as Morton’s Dean of Students.

From theaters to boutiques to restaurants,

trails of Morton student footprints

could be seen. A constant exchange of money

took place between all types of

businessmen and Morton's younger generation.

Students enjoyed purchasing

"kicky" new things while still saving for a

rainy day. Since teens are a

major part of the consumers, businesses

advertised in TOP HAT and

enabled the staff to increase the size of

the yearbook. MHS youths

tracked footprints in all sorts of

businesses via . . .
